The pot is cute, BUT NOT THE RIGHT ONE. Remember even though the snake are very easy to care for, they need Drainage. Less water. And if you can water them from the bottom.

Water test; stick your finger in the soil, no soil in your finger is time to water, but if it is some leave few more days. And then water.

Also check your roots.

Looks like it needs a bigger pot?

This pot has a drainage hole. I just watered It a few days ago and before that i let it dry out completely

Did you check the roots?

No need to water directly after the soil is dry. Depending on your conditions, 2-4 weeks per watering.

Hi there, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this dracaena since you posted because it’s so gorgeous! Do you know which variety this is? The silvery centres and lime borders are so stunning and I’m wondering if it’s a hybrid 🤔 If you’re not sure of the variety, would you mind sharing where you purchased it?
